Role Swap!AU Doodles for a fanfic I want to write later. Basically World Tour but Alejandro and Noah have their roles and part of their upbringing swapped. Noah is the youngest of his siblings who are famous and recognized in areas and he's the ignored genius who's in the show for the first time trying to get recognition from his family, and Alejandro is a capable guy who got unfairly eliminated in season one and came back for another shot at the million.

Remind me to never pick up digital drawing again. It is p a i n f u l. I want to lie in the floor, ty very much.

#total drama #alenoah #td noah #td alejandro #alternate universe #role swap au #i legit have all the history thought out and let me tell you #it is gay #Swap alejandro being carried by swap noah in the robot is so fucking cursed LMAO #i love it #Bruh i love those dumbasses why can't they kiss UGGgGHHHHHh #noah is a fashion disaster even in this AU #He can't save himself the dummy Lmao #Noah is the 'he likes to be tall meme' #He's a shortie in this AU

Kalina is the most interesting character to me because of all she has going on…

she is Cassandra’s familiar, she is simultaneously a pet and a friend and a servant and a family to a goddexx that is simultaneously her owner and friend and creator and parent and her god and reason to be—Kalina’s relationship to Cassandra is hard to put a name or label on (since what does being a familiar even mean?) but the bottomline is that this cat loves her deity enough to put everything and everyone on the line for her…

And adding in that she is a child of divorce. So to speak. I am extremely normal and haven’t been driven mad by the detail that baby itty bitty kitty Kalina was at Cassandra’s wedding to Ankarna and is remembered to have been toddling after her as she walked down the aisle…

Kalina will be the death of me /lh

#fhjy spoilers #fantasy high junior year #kalina #oh my god and the fact Kalina was there at that wedding—there at the period of time where Ankarna was alive and still a known god and not #presumed dead… this makes the Sylvairean Heresy even WORSE of a life event for Kalina and Cassandra… #the existence of baby kalina implies that Cassandra *raised* Kalina… and the fact they were married means that Kalina wouldn’t have been #raised by only Cassandra but *also* Ankarna. #you are Kalina and one of your parents just was killed by your uncle—their domains were too alike—and you can never talk about them again. #you can never speak their name—share in their memory—the only place they exist is quietly in your memories that must go unspoken due to #Oblivata Mori. And there’s nothing you can do about it… #And then the followers and clerics of your remaining parent start trying to kill her—being mislead by the followers of your goddexx’ sister #Cassandra is the only family Kalina has left—and Kalina’s sentience leds me to think she agreed to become a Curse #kalina let herself be unmade and changed to keep Cassandra alive… and even as the shell of herself—a familiar once but now a living plague— #is so deeply loyal and only interested in what is to the benefit of her *everything*… even if they are currently a Walking Corpse. #Kalina dislike Kristen so much because Kristen is just not being a good cleric and is in the precarious spot of being Cassandra’s only #follower… but ultimately won’t harm or attack Kristen—killing herself first—because Kristen is the only one keeping Cassandra uncorrupted. #yeah im crazy about the relationship and history between a cat familiar and her witch goddess and the layers of their relationship

My friend and I had a brief discussion on what the name of the relationship between Ryan and the Professor should be (not romantic. not a shipname. I refuse-), and eventually we decided on Beefbuds (a play on the fact Ryan's called Beef Boy and also alliteration ehe!!!)

BUT. One of my suggestions was Beef Jelly (a combination of Beef Boy and jellybeans), and I thought, "That's gotta be an existing food item" so I looked it up

Lo and behold!

#thanks I hate this! #fun fact: beef jelly (both the search and tag) has more posts than beefbuds. what the hell /lh #anyways gonna tag drawings featuring them as beefbuds from now on #once again: this is not intended to be a romantic shipname #I made an entire 10k fic (which is still being checked hOUGH) as to why romantic beefbuds would never work out. don't test me. #ryan bergara #the professor #puppet history #<- tagging so that y'all will be cursed by this. I love y'all 🫶🏽 #chris p fried what?!

jasper moodboards are the funniest fucking thing on twilight tumblr i'm sorry

#...is it petty if i make this post? #too late i'm doing it anyway #oh my god #it's SO RIDICULOUS TO ME #i saw this one moodboard. the middle quote was a quote abt how hard it is to be an empath #and still take care of yourself #HE'S A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER LMAOOO #also even in canon he's not. like. particularly empathetic #he's just manipulative! he gets his power from being manipulative & 'charismatic'! #if anything the empathy is a curse that he EARNED #& is doing his best to ignore #like. he canonically wishes he wasn't an empath bc it makes it harder for him to EAT PEOPLE #so the pinterest mental health inspo quote really killed me #also there were a bunch of grainy aesthetic cowboy photos and like. #the cowboy aesthetic is. first of all. very funny to me #AND he's not a cowboy #he's (again) A CONFEDERATE CAVALRY OFFICER #THERE'S NO CANON EVIDENCE HE WAS EVER A FUCKING COWBOY #also. come talk to me about the actual fucking history of cowboying in texas #and get your fucking aesthetic photos out of here #did you know that most texas ranches pre-war (62%!) enslaved their cowhands? #ONCE AGAIN. HE'S A CONFEDERATEEEEEEEEE #(& the time when he was human would've been. not really the time for him to even feasibly be a cowboy? spanish fever & cattle quarantine <3 #so. anyways. #fanon jasper remains the funniest thing ever to me

Ganonbeck has true Jessica & Roger Rabbit energy. A sublime immortal + some stinky sailor he found.

One of the Links, signing: "Seriously, why do you see in that guy?"

Ganondorf: "He makes me laugh"

Ganonbeck is a funny little ship and it is entertaining to think about what (any, I guess) of the various Links would think of it.

(I have not seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit so I can't say a whole lot on the comparison but I think I get it? I read the wikipedia page for it)

#anon #asks #ganonbeck #everyone keeps comparing ganonbeck to all kinds of other ships but idk what id personally compare it to #MAN idk what to do with the asks that are less asks and more little comments like this lol ty tho this is cute #ive been leaning away from just seeing ganonbeck as just a silly little crackship and more something with genuine narrative potential #its still silly dont get me wrong but im cursed with the tendency to make linebeck a deeper character than is necessary #i think he bathes very frequently and that is a headcanon with more baggage than is needed #ganondorf #linebeck #dynamic between linebeck and ganondorf is interesting to think about and i think the idea that linebeck is half gerudo is a good... crutch? #it helps spark stuff stuff in addition to just being an interesting linebeck headcanon in general #linebeck works really well with another character when i write him in aus he's usually intrinsically tied with another character #but ganonebeck being 'king with the power to tear down a nearby kingdom and is tied to a great magical artifact and history itself' #plus 'some fucking guy who keeps falling into epic quests he is not equipped for' is good #man raised as royalty with great battle skills and an affinity for the organ and generally also being kinda philosophical #and then legend of zelda's male damsel in distress #i think i have a skewed view of ganonbeck bc ganondorf is the one everyone else finds hot whereas my tastes are the reverse

shoutout to the dr i saw for less than 10 minutes that prescribed me a medication to treat anthrax that i objectively didn't need that is already showing signs of a life-threatening reaction

#PLEASE can the curse of the amulet cease for just a moment #although the good thing about being so hypersensitive to medications is if its going to have a reaction i get it like immediately #also this one is kind of on me bc other members of my family have had life threatening reactions to this class of meds #so #probably shouldve seen that coming #also even without a family history reading into it holy hell this medication is really powerful and dangerous #how did this man just throw it at me without any heads up

"Why should we ever read fairy stories, when the truth of history is so much more interesting and entertaining?"

- Hendrik Willem van Loon, The Story of Mankind

Excuse you, Hendrik, but fairy stories are vastly more interesting than your meandering history textbook <_<

#newbery resolution #the story of mankind #hendrik willem van loon #he sure IS a loon if he thinks it's more fun to read about the grandson of a pirate becoming king of england than fairies and curses #i'm only on the first newbery winner on the list and it is. a struggle. #i feel simultaneously like i'm being talked down to and like i'm supposed to already know the history he's supposedly teaching me???

[scattered-winter]

#its the fact that they have no place to belong even at the very place that's SUPPOSED to be safe for them. #it's the fact that throughout history they have never once known happiness in their lives. #it's the fact that they always die so so young. #(this is all with the caveat that i'm ignoring hitler being a hades kid btw. that's shitty and stupid and i hate it.) #winter speaks #nico di angelo #bianca di angelo #hazel levesque #to clarify im not woobifying nico i am in fact his most devoted soldier and i WILL clown on people who woobify him #but. there's something to be said for him being cursed by the narrative from day one because of who his dad is. #it compels me.

Lore Drop!

Idk if this is something anyone ever noticed, but whenever Ebony needs light they always use floating glowy orbs!

From the very beginning, glowing orbs have been one of Ebony’s primary powers, though they vary in color, number, and function.

In Arcana canon, the apprentice does tend to use a lot of glowing orbs, but that’s not the only reason for Ebony!

One of the key features of Ebony is that they don’t tend to be very emotional; they’re calm in just about every situation, and very rarely exaggerate any facial expressions. A soft smile is for sure the default. So, what sort of things could possibly rattle them?

These are the only instances of Ebony being associated with fire: in small doses around loved ones, for a comedic moment in a rare instance of strong emotion, and when they were a ghost.

Yeah, turns out being stuck on death island due to plague and the only way out being cremation, and eventually being cremated yourself, can leave some lasting trauma that extends even beyond amnesia :)

(artwork by the always stunning @void-slip​!!)

(art by the super talented @persep-hia​!)

Now, another key trademark of Ebony is headwear! There are very few overall images out there of Ebony without anything on their head.

(very happy art gift from the endlessly wonderful @ancientartifacts1010​!!)

(another example from the ever-lovely @armallo-and-roul​!)

Now, there are certainly Variations on the headwear, but there’s almost always Something. It’s just not Ebony without it!

The two main variations are a full-on flower crown, and of course their primary mistletoe/leaf crown.

Now for the part I don’t have artwork for XD

Essentially, there are only 2 things that are guaranteed triggers for Ebony: Fire, and being stuck in large crowds. Though they aren’t generally phased by anything, those two things will absolutely ruin them.

The headwear acts for Ebony in a very similar way myrrh acts for Muriel; the smell of it acts as a positive trigger.

The flower and mistletoe crowns are the easiest way for them to access a calm and grounding scent, though they still try to keep those positive triggers on all their headwear. For example, the forehead jewel in @ancientartifacts1010​‘s lovely art secretly being a tiny vial of perfume, and the pearls in @armallo-and-roul​‘s example being both dipped in the scent and hollowed out so each pearl holds a small amount of perfume.

Unfortunantly I am no scent connoisseur XD I associate Ebony with the smell of pine needles and sea spray, and I’d assume they smell like myrrh although i got no clue what that’s like. But whatever smell they actually use to ground themself I may never know.

Thus ends the lore dump! Super big thank you to everyone who gave me Ebony artworks, they mean more to me than I can say!

#accidentally ended up as a history of Ebony artworks XD #Honestly just by the sheer amount of artwork I can see why people think they're my main oc #apprentice Ebony #the arcana #sleepyselkiesketches #fanart #I get FANART!!! #Never stop being excited about that XD #someday I would absolutely love to make a post compiling all the Ebony artwork I've been given #they make me so happyyyy #but unfortunantly between my memory issues and people changing usernames and leaving tumblr I don't think that will be possible :''') #at least not if I want to ensure I give credit to everyone #aaaa cursed memory issues #well really there are only 3 where I cannot for the life of me remember who drew them #and another 3 where I Know but none of them are on tumblr anymore #long post
